You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Kuratko-Nosek has been a part of my husband's family for many years.Withbhis recent passing, we contacted them immediately to coordinate hi memorial service. They were willing to adapt to our requests with no issues. Their main concern was that our needs had been met. We were treated with respect and empathy. Everything went smoothly. Any gliches that came up with this being a holiday weekend were taken care of, long with keeping me informed along the way. I highly recommend their services.”

“The slideshow was the best. I brought in random pics of various sizes and they got all of them in. Photo albums, cards, pictures in frames and a few items were displayed well and accessible around the room. The flowers were better than expected. My mom looked good and was dressed as she was in life, right down to the perfume provided. Everything I brought as well as the funeral cards and death certificates were packed up neatly in the bags for pickup the next day.”

“Our family experienced such amazing care and compassion after the deaths of my parents. Fourteen years ago, my mom passed away and the arrangements were handled impeccably. My dad was more recent, and even though my dad died out of state, Frank Nosek and his wonderful team knew exactly what we needed and helped us through an incredibly difficult time. The care, love, and true kindness are things I will remember, and treasure, forever. Huge thanks to the Kuratko-Nosek team. ❤️”
